as the environment deteriorated, obama got the women staffers together to have a dinner with them to address the concerns. okay. the meeting began with obama looking at his watch and saying, are there concerns i need to know about? that's how concerned he was. i wish your expressions could be seen out there. again and again, ignored the concerns of women. he ignores the concerns of women who are going to be affected negatively by obamacare, all of the taxes that are going to hit the middle class, the medicine cabinet tax, limitations on what we put in the flex spending thes, but it is also the sheer way in which obama patronized women that is so offensive and belies what complete hypocrisy the war on women is. camp damp bell brown, a former cnn anchor, had a great piece on how paternal this administration has been towards women making reference to how women a smarter than men, all so tired, that kind of fake praise showered upon ones who those think are easy to impress. she said that he is having a hard time connecting with tens of millions of americans, many of those who are women,
